Gules, three ciboria or. | Gules, three ciboria or. | ||
===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms are canting (a ciborium is a covered cup for holding hosts (from the Christian eucharist), which symbolises the body of Christ). The colors red and gold are not explained, but could be seen as the Spanish, because of the former Spanish influence, or as gold for the ciboria and red for the Blood of Christ. | |||
